"No reservations! My journey begins and ends in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. A city that taught me that the world is a boundless place that is meant to be explored and learned.

Emily F Berea College
"I saw how another culture lives, namely how they relax. Cypriots are a much more laid back culture, do not work all the time like in America and find joy in life not only in careers. This opened up my eyes that the "go, go, go" lifestyle of the US is not the only option."

"It was hardly worthwhile, was a nice visit but the program was so poorly put together."
A student Berea College
"I gained a lot of insight into how it feels to be an outsider in a country and to be respectful and aware at all times. I learned about sustainability. I also gained a lot of potential job experience from my museum studies class, and learned a lot about Spain's history."
Molly S Berea College
"It was worthwhile, But I feel like I should have given more thought to which country I would visit. Although I loved Italia, I didn't "fit in" with the culture, nor did I want to. Wine isn't my thing, and neither was fashion or pasta. I should have considered going to a country where I could experience more of my own interests (..."

"I believe Italian culture, being old and set in their ways, was one of the hardest cultures for Americans to adjust to. The first 2 weeks were awful. However, I pushed through and adjusted to that strange culture, by myself. It taught me about myself and made me a stronger and better person. I learned to relax and adapt and it w..."
